What is phpShout?

phpShout is a PHP5 Extension that wraps around the libshout library available at
icecast.org. LibShout is used in conjunction
with an Icecast server to create a streaming Internet radio station from your own
music files. With phpShout, PHP developers can create web-based streaming jukebox
applications, without worrying about the details of streaming the audio data.
LibShout handles all the metadata updates, data timing, and ensuring that no bad
data gets to the Icecast server.

Once such Web Jukebox application being developed is
phpRadio, using phpShout as
its backend audio streaming technology!
